Kwame Ghana
New Ghanaian act, Kwame Ghana, cuts deep into our minds with some thought provoking comments.
According to him, “most Ghanaian musicians in the past who were branded as Highlife musicians had most of their songs falling within the Reggae genre, which I believe contributed to our country’s music not doing well on the international markets due to improper classification. Apart from the very early highlifers like Nana Ampadu, the new generation after them have drifted. We can rename some of such genres so we can own them. KOJO ANTWI was doing what I can best describe as *ReggLife* – a smooth-sweet blend of Highlife and Reggae, but that was not well defined. I am representing that, and this time it’s being well defined and refined to meet up with modern trends. I see myself as a new breed of KOJO Antwi”, Kwame Ghana opined.
